CONDITION ASSESSMENT: FAIR CONDITION CONSISTENT WITH EXTENDED WEAR AND AGE. THE LEATHER UPPER EXHIBITS NATURAL CREASING AND SCUFFING THROUGHOUT, WITH SURFACE DISCOLOURATION FROM USE. THE RUBBER MIDSOLE SHOWS SIGNIFICANT YELLOWING AND OXIDATION, A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN VINTAGE ATHLETIC FOOTWEAR OF THIS ERA. THE TREAD PATTERN REMAINS VISIBLE BUT SHOWS WEAR CONSISTENT WITH REGULAR USE. INTERIOR LINING IS LARGELY INTACT WITH MINOR SOILING. ALL STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS REMAIN SOUND; THE SHOES ARE SUITABLE FOR DISPLAY OR RESTORATION PURPOSES.

NOTE: THESE TRAINERS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PERIOD IN NIKE'S BASKETBALL FOOTWEAR HERITAGE AND ARE SUITABLE FOR COLLECTORS OF VINTAGE ATHLETIC SHOES OR THOSE INTERESTED IN EARLY 2010S SPORTSWEAR DESIGN.
